Kicking things off, we first see the ship in its prime. Ad content continues below With this disaster the ship then mysteriously disappears for the best part of 40 years.

Ninja Assassin review

Ninjas are back on the big screen! But does Ron warm to the ultra-violent antics of Ninja Assassin? In the 80s, anyone could make a movie about ninjas and attract an audience. For a solid decade, ninjas were it. Undoubtedly, this was due in no small part to ninja overexposure and the demise of Golan-Globus/Cannon Films. There hasnt been a non-Mutant Ninja Turtle ninja movie in theaters in years. If you think turning against a clan of killers and assassins is a bad idea, youd be right....

Can Bruno recapture the Borat magic? Sorry to give the ending of the review away like that. Clearly, the question of public decency has to come into question at some point. Also, theres the matter of respect to consider. Bruno is available from the iTunes store. Rating: 3 out of 5

Public Enemies iPod download review

How does Michael Mann’s Public Enemies fare on the screen of an iPod? As ever, though, you have to question the value of paying 10.99 for the download. However, if the price doesnt put you off, then it might still be worth the download. Public Enemies is available from the iTunes store. Rating: 3 out of 5

Revisiting Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street

I can guarantee the closest shave youll ever know. With Pirellis boy assistant Toby waiting with Mrs Lovett, Todd slashes Pirellis throat and hides the body. For her crimes Todd pushes her into the baking oven. That did not, however, stop it from becoming one of the most successful movies of that year.

10 more things that we can blame videogaming for

Any tabloid writers reading? Looking for more things you could pin on videogaming?

Coraline DVD review

WhileCoralinemay bear a PG rating, this fantasy/horror is certainly not a film for young children. She soon discovers that its not just the house that is odd, but also her neighbours. In terms of voice acting, the performances are energetic. She really delivers as the evil Other Mother. Would not the impact be lost in a mere two dimensions, I wondered? Review discs were provided byZavvi.com. Rating: 4 out of 5
